Late breaking news informs us that our esteemed Leader will “consult” with Congress when it reconvenes after the holiday weekend on how to proceed against Syria over that nation’s alleged use of chemical weapons within its own borders.

New tests at Fukushima have found radiation levels around its tanks are up to 18 times worse than previously thought—high enough to kill someone within four hours of exposure, reports the BBC. What’s caused the alarming spike? More accurate measuring equipment, says plant operator TEPCO. The previous equipment could only read up to 100 millisieverts an hour. Its estimation of the radiation level at the time? 100 millisieverts an hour. The new equipment recorded readings of up to 1,800 millisieverts an hour.   Continue reading “Radiation Soars to Lethal Levels at Fukushima”

In Washington DC:

About 100 anti-war protesters and some 50 supporters of the Syrian opposition faced off outside the White House Saturday as President Barack Obama weighed a strike against the Damascus regime.

Police on horseback intervened to separate the two groups who for several minutes appeared on the verge of coming to blows.   Continue reading “Anti-War Protests Across the Country”

The sea is boiling off of the coast of Fukushima, Japan and the picture below has been called a viral photo of the day by Coolbuster. Check out the picture, what is that all about? It certainly can’t be good for any plant or animal life left off of the coast of Japan… if this radiation keeps leaking, and there’s no way to stop it, will boiling seas spread all the way across the Pacific Ocean to the West Coast of the United States? If so, what happens then? We are so ‘fuked’. Three brand new video reports below share the Fukushima news that you’re not getting from our government or the mainstream media.   Continue reading “‘Boiling Sea’ Off Fukushima Viral Photo Of The Day”

The Intelligence Briefings – by Tom Heneghan

UNITED STATES of America –   It can now be reported that major de-leveraging involving U.S. Citibank, HSBC, the Bank of Israel and the German Deutsche Bank is now occurring as derivative ratios continue to expand at an alarming rate.

As we have reported in previous intelligence briefings, the derivative spreads are now ass backwards involving foreign currency positions tied to the Japanese yen, the euro currency, the Chinese yuan and crude oil futures traded on the NYMEX exchange in New York.   Continue reading “It is Still the Derivatives, They Remain Toxic”

As states continue to nullify federal laws against marijuana and hemp, the federal government has been faced with an important question. It’s been more than 75 years, and marijuana and hemp  still remain illegal. Never mind the total lack of reasoning  behind the federal government’s ban. Is it time to end the law?

Less than 24 hours ago, it all came crashing down. According to the Associated Press, the justice department said that states can allow citizens to use the drug, license people to grow it and allow them to purchase it in stores. As long as the drug is kept away from the black market, children and federal property– It’s a go!   Continue reading “Did The Federal Government Just Legalize Marijuana?”

Secretary of State John Kerry opened his speech Friday by describing the horrors victims of the chemical weapon attack suffered, including twitching, spasms and difficulty breathing.

Attempting to drive the point home, Kerry referenced a photograph used by the BBC illustrating a child jumping over hundreds of dead bodies covered in white shrouds. The photo was meant to depict victims who allegedly succumbed to the effects of chemical weapons via Assad’s regime.   Continue reading “Kerry Caught Using Fake Photos to Fuel Syrian War”

As President Barack Obama has outwardly attempted to curtail Americans’ Constitutional Second Amendment right to bear arms, his Administration has approved huge increases in defense spending and export sales. The Administration is now seeking to eliminate stringent State Department controls on exports and foreign licensing of dozens of categories of weapons and technology from the United States Munitions List (USML) by transferring control to the pro-business Commerce Department.    Continue reading “Obama Disarms Americans While Arming the World”

Painkillers including OxyContin (pictured) claim more lives than illicit drugs such as cocaine, according to new study.Al Jazeera – by Amel Ahmed

Prescriptions for painkillers in the United States have nearly tripled in the past two decades and fatal overdoses reached epidemic levels, exceeding those from heroin and cocaine combined, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

At the same time, the first-ever global analysis of illicit drug abuse, published this month in the British medical journal The Lancet, found that addictions to heroin and popular painkillers, including Vicodin and OxyContin, kill the most people and cause the greatest health burden, compared with illicit drugs such as marijuana and cocaine.   Continue reading “Painkiller addictions worst drug epidemic in US history”

Several new hotspots reading potentially lethal doses of radiation have been detected near the tanks storing the radioactive water, forcing the operator to admit there might be even more leaks at the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant.

The high radiation readings were detected during the daily inspection on Saturday near three water tanks and one pipe stretched between the tanks and the plant, Kyodo news agency reported.    Continue reading “New radioactive hotspots suggest more leaks at Fukushima”
